(TEC) (http://www.TechnologyEvaluation.com/press), the first web-native technology research enterprise, have formed an alliance that will provide analyst-vetted software selection assessments to customers seeking IT and ERP functional and technical expertise.

TEC’s Certified Professional Services Providers program creates opportunities for TEC to team up with IT professional services providers to deliver superior software package selections and strategic IT assessments far more efficiently and effectively than by traditional means.

Consultancies such as M&M Business Solutions will utilize TEC's knowledge base of detailed current data about hundreds of software products and vendors and its "break-away" eBestMatch decision support tools to analyze vendor and product data. Such an approach will enable decision-makers to select software products that best fit their business and systems requirements and deliver maximum business value.

"We've witnessed firsthand the frustration and waste that occurs when companies try to adopt enterprise software that just doesn't meet their needs," said Lori Burt, director of M&M Business Solutions. "By combining our expertise in ERP systems with the software selection resources of TEC (http://www.TechnologyEvaluation.com/press), we will be in a powerful position to help our clients prioritize their needs for enterprise software, then select a package from among more than 100 enterprise software solutions to identify the right fit."
